The "bad ones" I mean.
You see there are good people and bad people.
There were bad people in Iraq too.
We would still be there but all the bad ones were already killed, so we stopped.
Bush was right for getting the bad guys, but got too many not-so-bad guys.
Like Saddam. He was bad. Bush should have just got him. Oh, and maybe a few other bad Iraqis. Like that liar guy and the chemical guy. Oh and Saddam's kids. They were pretty bad.
But Obama is better. He didn't just get Qaddafi, he managed to get Europe to pay for most of it. And he killed less of the not-so-bad guys too. I think so anyway.
And don't forget, he got Osama Bin Laden who was the baddest guy of all. Yup. He got him and dumped his body in the ocean. Ha ha, he probably got eaten by fish. He deserved it.
Yeah, we're still in Afghanistan, I know. But now we're killing bad guys without too much damage to our own kids. Oh, Pakistan too. Same difference. Yemen too? Oh well, that's pretty much the same thing too.
Soon there won't be any bad guys left too threaten us. Then we can turn our attention back to being Progressives and anti-war. Unless the Republicans are anti-war, that is. Then we'll be pro-war.
He would probably look better in a Navy flight suit too.

I don't waste my time weeping over feeding fish with dead meat. Healthier for them than the radioactive crap from Fukishima or the oil poison from the Gulf.
Someone unwilling to act as Commander in Chief and COMMAND our armies will NEVER be elected president of this country.
That said, I want out of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Let Russia invade them. Let India. Let China. And if foreign powers aren't murdering their women and children, they will happily do it themselves. I'd just prefer it not to be us.

(6,670 posts)It's just bad timing. The last thing we need is the pro-killing Dems to ally with what's left of the Republicans and fuck up what looks like certain failure on the public relations side of the pro-war faction. It's already hard enough to hold the DLC-progressive coalition together.
